Voltaire (1694-1778), novelist, dramatist, poet, philosopher,
historian, and satirist, was one of the most renowned figures of
the Age of Enlightenment. In this collection of anti-clerical works
from the last twenty-five years of Voltaire's life, he roundly
attacks the philosophical optimism of the deists, the so-called
inspiration of the Bible, the papacy, and vulgar superstition.
These great works reveal Voltaire not only as a polemicist but also
as a profound humanitarian. The selections include "Poem on the
Lisbon Disaster", "We Must Take Sides", "The Questions of Zapate"
and "The Sermon of the Fifty," homilies on superstition and the
interpretation of the Old and New Testaments, and his famous
"Treatise on Toleration".
